Dental fillings are far from being a pleasant experience, but right now they're necessary to fill cavities and prevent further damage. A research team at the University of Nottingham in the UK could ...

STORY: Researchers in London have developed a dental treatment using keratin, a protein found in hair, skin, and wool, that they say can repair damaged tooth enamel. ''Currently enamel, once it's gone ...

SEATTLE — Scientists at the University of Washington are taking stem cell research to a new level. They're working to regenerate something people often take for granted: our teeth. A multidisciplinary ...

For all the cool regenerative tricks the human body can do, it’s kind of weird that we only have one shot at tooth enamel with no way to get it back. That may be about to change, as researchers at the ...

Dental fillings aren't a pleasant way to fix cavities but they're necessary to fill holes and prevent further damage. But now a research team at the University of Nottingham in the UK is working on a ...

In a breakthrough that could redefine oral hygiene, researchers at King's College London have pioneered a toothpaste and professional gel using keratin—the same protein found in human hair, skin, and ...

Scientists created a new protein-based gel that can regenerate damaged tooth enamel The material mimics a natural process to regrow enamel mineral structure inside holes and cracks This technology ...

Damaged teeth could one day be repaired with "living fillings" created from stem cells, a new study reports. In the lab, researchers induced stem cells to form small, multicellular mini-organs that ...
